Drawings depicting details of damp proof courses, weepholes, lintels, roof ties to

walls, etc. are supplemented by specifications used to tra

nslate designs into physical

reality.

Detailing is therefore an im

portant lin

k between good design and quality c

onstruction.

The construction details that fo

llow are examples of sound acceptable practice.
